Synopsis

The Tea Ladies was an Australian situation comedy series produced for Network Ten in 1978. The series was produced by the same company that at the time was producing Australian versions of UK comedy shows Father, Dear Father and Doctor in the House. The producer of these programs, William G. Stewart, had earlier produced a pilot episode for a UK situation comedy series based on a group of tea ladies and resurrected the concept as The Tea Ladies in Australia. The Tea Ladies was set in Parliament House and followed the exploits of four tea ladies at work. The regular cast included Pat McDonald and Sue Jones. The series was produced at ATV-0 in Melbourne. It began on air 14 September 1978 with each episode being broadcast in an 8.30 p.m. slot almost immediately after studio shooting was complete. The series had a run of just eight 30-minute episodes.
